How to Retrieve ASVAB Scores

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) determines which vocational occupation an individual is eligible for.

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitute Battery (ASVAB) is given to those interested in serving in the military. The ASVAB includes ten individual tests. Four of these tests focus on verbal composition, arithmetic reasoning and math knowledge and are otherwise known as the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT). It's important to remember that the AFQT is part of the ASVAB, and the final score determines which vocation an individual is eligible for within the military.

Instructions

1. Contact your local military recruitment office. Recruiters are automatically given a copy of the ASVAB scores.

2. Identify yourself and provide your Social Security number, if needed.

3. State the reason for your call and what you are requesting.

4. Ask that an official copy either be mailed to you or be made available for pickup.

5. Ask the recruiter what steps are needed to retake the ASVAB if you are not satisfied with the score. According to the official ASVAB website, there is a one-month waiting period between the initial test and a retake.

Tips & Warnings

• ASVAB scores are only valid for two years.
